  • Thanks for responding. I was trying to decide between Unarmed and Single Blade. In the past, Unarmed was low damage, but it appears that it is better now.
  • Thanks everyone for your responses. You were all very helpful. My main problem was that I didn't take Lightning Arc. I didn't know that it was such an awesome single target attack. I got that ability now and it is great.
  • You wouldn't have to go on PTS, but the only way that I know to see the colors is to attack the dummies in the Powerhouse.
  • I would like to give an update about my tests comparing WotW, LR and Regen. Earlier, I used the Holo combat sim in the Powerhouse. I used Hard opponents in 2 groups. Each time, I lost the fight and had 2 opponents remaining. When I fought opponents in 1 group, I won the fight using each of the three compared abilities. I…
  • I experimented with WotW, LR and Regen. I made some new toons and tried each. At low level, Regen was definitely the most surviveable. I then used my lvl 31 toon and used each in the holo combat simulation in the powerhouse. I had mostly the same results, except that WotW killed them faster. The one problem with regen is…
  • I narrowed it down to WotW and LR because they are MA passives. I want an agile type MA. I don't think that many other passives fit within the MA conception. There have been some MA movies in which there was an invulnerable MA, but I don't want that in my concept.
  • Thanks everyone. I have considered tanking with LR. I tried tanking on WoW several years ago. I failed my first try and didn't try again. Everyone expected me to run around and get every aggro. I've been afraid to try tanking since then. Is tanking with LR really complicated? Since it appears that tank role attracts aggro,…
  • Thanks everyone for your replies. It appears that the consensus is that WotW is better in general. What is the best self heal for WotW? For LR, it is definitely BCR/RR. Is that true of WotW? Are other heals better, or is BCR better with a rank 3?
  • Thanks for your replies. What I should have said was that Force should have a Support Passive. I made a force toon in order to shield allies. I was very upset when I found that PFF wasn't useable in Support Role, and Force didn't have any Support Passives.
  • No, I didn't. Maybe that was the problem. Thanks.
  • I usually use Burning Chi Fist. Is Dragon Uppercut much better?
  • I noticed that several suggested Hundred Hands but no one suggested Dragon Kick. Is Hundred Hands better than Dragon Kick?
  • Thanks. I was recently getting the impression that Unarmed had most of its advantages in defense. It was for this reason that I used LR as my passive. I will probably change it to WotW or possibly NR.
  • Is Single Blade worth having? I was experimenting in the Powerhouse and am getting the impression that SB isn't very good. I've noticed that Double Blade gets decent damage and also has Eye of the Storm which shields in addition to damage. I also noticed that SB is the only MA that doesn't have any powers that require 5…
  • Thanks for your help. Yes, my munitions toon uses 2 gun mojo, as well as Quarry with Fair Game advantage, so that he can heal himself as he kills. He kills pretty darn fast as well.
  • Thanks for the reply. I don't understand why unarmed is better at dodging than the others. I assume that most of the dodge abilities come from Lightning reflexes and other powers, all of which can be used by the other martial arts forms.
  • Thanks everyone. I have tried LR and I really like it. I have great surviveability, and live through almost all fights. I've noticed that many MA powers are best when dodging. This makes for a great MA toon. I think that LR is much better for all around surviveability than NW.
  • Thank you all for your replies. I was definitely planning to try and experiment with LR, but I wanted some comments first. I've played MMOs for many years, and on many occasions have read comments that "XXX power isn't very useful." I just wanted to see if it was good or overly nerfed. I wasn't going to ask if LR was…
